Walmart
We are all finding this time to be quite challenging. Many of us are choosing to stay at home voluntarily to lessen the spread of the infamous Corona virus, which causes COVID-19. The times when we all were laughing about it are over and the nation is in the midst of school closures and cancellation of all social activities. Some experts are saying that worst is still to come and that we all will get the virus before it's gone and over.
The prospect of getting infected and sick is of the gloomy kind, especially when we know what was and currently is happening in China and Italy. Many European countries are on the lockdown and on quarantine. Travel all over the world is suspended and the economy is going into recession.
Before we get completely panicked, let's remember that even if death rate is higher than that of common Influenza, it's still low and affects mostly individuals who have compromised immune systems. Those people are often our parents and grandparents. If we feel pretty safe about ourselves, let's take care of those weaker than we are and look for ways to stay away from crowds.
The most likely places to encounter those crowds are grocery stores and pharmacies. Nobody wants to be stuck shopping there, especially older people and those with chronic diseases. But can we stay away?
Yes, it turns out, we can. Let's talk about Walmart Grocery delivery service. The retail giant has been working on expanding its online grocery delivery for a couple of years now. The main reason was to be able to compete with the likes of Amazon, but today it became a vital method of shopping.
Walmart Grocery is a separate app, but it will probably be merged with the main Walmart app eventually. It's free to get the app and to create your profile with your address. App users can save their shopping history and create shopping lists to be remembered in the future for faster shopping.
Today Walmart is offering $10 off $50 coupon for grocery delivery. This kind of deal comes in addition to already low Walmart prices. It can be applied to your total grocery order, making savings quite significant.
This service can do wonders for people who are the most vulnerable and at risk. It is offered at 1,600 locations and only the most rural places don't have a Walmart within a few miles distance. You should check if your address is eligible for this service, but it most likely is.
The best way to get Walmart Grocery service is to sign up for Delivery Unlimited for just $98 per year. You can choose to pay $12.95 per month and order as much and as often as you want. Otherwise the service costs about $10 per order, which has to be at least $35.
To offer this and free curbside pickup services Walmart is employing over 45,000 personal shoppers, who are carefully selected and trained. This service has become very essential and will help carry Walmart through tough economic times.
We, the shoppers, can choose from over 100,000 products that include perishable groceries, dairy products, eggs, meat, pantry items, personal hygiene, and even household items.
During normal times you can get your order delivered in as little as 4 hours, which is super-fast and convenient, but today the situation is different. Even with the looming corona virus, ordering from Walmart is safe and faster than with some other services.
The retailer has said that it's working with increased social distancing standards, so you will get your order left by your door and avoid human contact.
When times are so difficult and not safe, it would be hard to find a better and more convenient service, which is also affordable. If you haven't done that yet, give Walmart Grocery a try and stay at home instead of going to shop with a crowd of potential virus carriers. If you don't want to do this for you, order this for your older loved ones and you might just save their lives.
